Loss of taste on steroids
Back in February while in Spain I had my first ever flare up ( copd) Doctor prescribed antibiotics and steroid injection and tablets, said I was close to pneumonia. I was pretty rough with wheezing, cough, breathing etc. But never having had steroid tablets before I wasn’t sure what to expect.

Phlegm

Can lung cancer be diagnosed by a CT scan?
Hi everyone, About four weeks ago, my partner started coughing up blood..went to A and E, diagnosed with pneumonia and given antibiotics. This week he coughed up blood again. GP told him it wasn't pneumonia ( no indication in bloods) and he shouldn't have been diagnosed with that. He was sent straight

Severe chest and rib pain - no cough
Hi, My wife was diagnosed with bronchitis last December, since then we've been to the doctor's and they gave her two sprays (blue and pink - can't remember the names). She had bloods and x-ray done, came back clear. She is iron and vitamin D deficient, she takes supplements for both. She gets severe

Cold plasma against the coronavirus.
Many seriously ill Covid-19 patients must contend with more than just the coronavirus. Approximately half of the people who were mechanically ventilated yet still died had acquired additional infections in hospital. Cold plasma therapy could prevent these superinfections and reduce the risk of hospital

Respiratory problems
Hi. I have lupus, APS and secondary Sjögrens. Since having pneumonia 3 years ago I’ve had a constant productive cough although recent chest X-ray looks fine. Waiting for lung function tests now. Has anyone else with the same conditions developed respiratory problems ?

Depression because of cold
I moved to retirement flat last month. I own it. Bought very cheap. My problem is the cold in flat. No sun comes in it and feels extremely cold all the time. I have electric heating which cannot afford to put on all day. It is warmer outside. Shouldn't need heating in June. I feel cold because of thyroid

Preparing for a new chapter
Hello everyone, I’m not use to being on forums but I feel so lost and alone, I don’t know who else to turn to. I’m 28 years old and the oldest daughter of my family. We recently found out my mom (52) is at her end stage of renal disease. She just had a catheter inserted to prepare for Peritoneal Dialysis

Why seretide is the first course of action for asthma...Why not some steroid free treatment to start with?
Hi everyone! I am new to asthmatic life! My issue started with heart palpitations and acidity, got nexium then later I started feeling SOB, initially Dr. Said it's bronchitis and then gerd induced asthma and now asthma. My question is that do I need to stay on seretide course because I cannot differentiate

Covid-19 Pneumonia Recovery
Hi again, I want to thank everyone for their replies on my last post, they were all helpful. Last week I went back to my GP and she again referred me to A&E - I stayed for the night on oxygen and the next morning they told me they believe I had COVID-19 (I believe it was covid pneumonia?) as they could

Coughing with steroids
I have Eosinophilic Asthma, and cough a phlemy cough a lot of the time. I use two inhalers, Flutiform, and Ciclesonide, two puffs twice a day. Sometimes I find that when I use my inhaler, it makes me have a coughing fit. Am I just coughing up the steroid spray and should I use it again?

Dry irritable cough different from bronchiectasis cough
Hi all, I had another chest infection three weeks ago. Steroids and antibiotics. The last week I have a irritable cough, I feel it is pollen related rather than infection. I started steroids to try and calm things down. But husband is now annoying me by saying something is wrong. Has anyone else been

Nitrogen‐Containing Bisphosphonates Are Associated With Reduced Risk of Pneumonia in Patients With Hip Fracture.
A recent study found that nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs) such as alendronate, which are widely used to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis, are linked with lower risks of pneumonia and of dying from pneumonia. The results are published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research. The study

Support when caring for my mum
she was fitted with a pacemaker on 5th March and less than a week later went into
respiratory
failure
and was again rushed to hospital, she has now been told she has a leaking mitral valve and severe heart failure but isn’t strong enough for a replacement valve.

‘Flu vaccine
I rang my GP to ask if I should get the ‘flu jab - and get a script for it as I do every year - this year because of my recently diagnosed PMF I qualify for free vaccine! Part of me still rebels being labelled as having a ‘chronic illness’ or having ‘reduced immunity’ - part of me says ‘Thanks very much
